charged and routed them. The mob retalia-
ted with shower of stones
which wounded number of per-
sons The rioters were finally dispersed.
MN. Camelinal and Duquercy, extremist dep
uties, with Earnest Roche of the Intransige-
ant tried to harangue a crowd in front OF the
Palais Bourbon, but were prevented by he
police. Afterwards they proceeded to the
Hotel de Vile, followed by a mob. The
guards dispersed the mob, but permitted the
deputies to enter. The municipal council
was then discussing a proposal to proceed to
the Palais Bourbon to morrow to demand
that the Chamber save the republic. NJ. Ca
mslinal obtained fervent hearing. The
municipal council agreed, by vote of 81 to
18, to ask an audience with the. Chamber of
Deputies. Louise Michel this afternoon at
tempted to force an entrance in o the build
ing and was again placed under arrest.

ment in this city to night than on the previ-
GUS night Knots of curious people collected
from time to time, but we're easily dispersed.
A few persons received slight injuries in
scuf1es with the police. Louise Michel was
forcibly removed from the entrance of the
Palais Bourbon. Deputy Basly was arrested.
The senators and the moderate deputies gen
orally abstained from taking part in to-days
test balloting. The plenary meeting to be
held at Versailles tomorrow will afford
better Indication of the final result.
Some serious rioting occurred in the Place
de la Concorde this evening. The mounted
guard charged the crowd and several revolver
shots were fred at the police. Later they
were reinforced with infantry and fresh
charge made when sixty persons were in jur-
ed. A socialist meeting was held in the Sale
Favie. Violent speeches were made and the
crowd shouted "A bas Ferry" ''Vive Bou-
langer!"
NJ. Grevy has gone to his home at Mont
Sous Vaudrey He left Paris on the seven
o'clock express tonight. NJ. Rouvier ex-
pressed himself that if NJ. Ferry was elected
president it would be less duty to see him
safely housed in the Elysee Palace. He was
confident he would be able to do it although
it would be no easy task. n. PellatIn and
other radicals are credited with saying that
NJ Ferry would have to wade through blood
to reach the Elysee.
During the charge on the Pont de la Coz
corde to-day guard unsheathed his sword.
He was assailed with a volley of paving
stones which were torn up in the twinkling
of an eye and his bride was seized and he
was beaten with loaded stick. A reporter
resembling M. Wilson had narrow escape
from being thrown into the Seine A body
of police surrounded him and escorted him
to place of safety.
The municipal council has appointed
delegation consisting of Nm. GUIDE, Susine,
Guile and Roche to concert measures with
the radicals for the protection of the repub-
lie against the dangers which they believe
would menace it if M. Ferry were elected.
